Get Out of that Funk!

Feeling sadness from time to time is normal. Sadness can occur for many reasons. A rainy day may make you feel unmotivated. A job you hate could make it impossible to enjoy your day. Or financial hardship can bring about negative thoughts and anxiety that make you feel gloomy. There are countless examples.

Have you lost the passion to engage in activities that once brought you pleasure? Do you feel tired all the time? Is your sadness interfering with your professional and social relationships?
